  Step 1

  Cut a strip of paper. It can pretty much any width (although the smaller they are, the more difficult the final steps will be) but should be at least 6 inches long. Place the side you would like your heart to look like face down.

• 

  Step 2

  Take the end of the strip and fold it once horizontally.

• 

  Step 3

  Take the end you have just folded and fold the corner up to the edge to creat a triangle.

• 

  Step 4

  Fold that triangle up.

• 

  Step 5

  Then fold the triangle over.

• 

  Step 6

  Repeat this folding until you have about an inch or so left unfolded.

• 

  Step 7

  Take the end of the unfolded area and fold the corners in to make a triangle.

• 

  Step 8

  Take that end and tuck the triangle into the little pocket. (If that makes any sense)

• 

  Step 9

  Flip your triangle shape over so the long side is on top.

• 

  Step 10

  Now use your thumbs (fingernails can be quite helpful!) and squish the top right down the middle between the corners.

• 

  Step 11

  You should end up with this rather pointy-looking heart shape.

• 

  Step 12

  Use your handy-dandy scissors to round out those points and make a less dangerous looking heart. (Or don't, whichever you prefer! ^_^)

• 

  Step 13

  And there you have it! Adorable 3D hearts you can do just about anything with! Stuff them in a jar, hang them from your ceiling, make jewelery, glue them to a card, give them to your sweetheart or throw them at strangers! Whatever you do have fun and please share yours! :)

Thank you for such kind comments!

I find that these are a little easier to make than the lucky stars, but I bet they'd look cute together.
